Hi Guys!

As I mentioned in episode #62 thanks to the great people behind Armageddon Expo I had the good fortune to attend the Media Event last Friday, attended by Corey Feldman, Billy Boyd & Ian McNiece, which was great.

We all then split up into our scheduled interviews, with mine scheduled to be Dan Slott and Brent Anderson. I did get to meet Dan, and his interview will be in episode #63, but due to flight delays I was unable to interview Brent.

But all was not lost, as while I was waiting to interview Dan I struck up a conversation with the lovely Marni, who was revealed to be Brian’s Agent (and girlfriend) and not only was she awesome but she also arranged an interview with Brian! And I have to say, I have had some great interview experiences, but Brian is right up there with my favourites. He is not only a ridiculously talented actor and writer, but he was so awesome to talk to and I had a blast.

And he seemed to enjoy it too, because we were meant to only have 15 mins together, but before we knew it we were at 50 mins! And it was all awesome.

Obviously 50 mins is too much to put onto an episode so I’ve decided to post it here on the site almost in its entirety (it’s 46 mins, minus edits of people interrupting us and stuff). I hope you enjoy it.

And thanks again to Brian, Marni & Sophie from Armageddon Expo for allowing this to happen 🙂

Armageddon Expo is not far away and I am getting more excited every day!

Armageddon is always a highlight for me. They have been running in Melbourne since 2007, and I have attended every one!

This year will see the event move to the Melbourne Showgrounds and allows for more space for all the awesome booths and guests.

And you can buy your Autographs and Photos tokens online and avoid a huge chunk of the queues (which is an awesome idea)!

Event general admission tickets are now on sale through www.ticketek.com.au. VIP tickets are also available and the Gold Passes are nearly sold out, so get in quick!

Of course I can’t finish this post without mentioning some of the great guests Armageddon have lined up this year. Here is just a few, with many more on their website – armageddonexpo.com

• Kevin Eastman – Co-Creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
• Dan Slott – Writer of Superior and Amazing Spiderman
• Brent Anderson – Artist on Astro City
• Evanna Lynch – Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films
• David Morrissey – The Governor in The Walking Dead
• Billy Boyd – Pippin the Hobbit in The Lord of the Rings trilogy
• Norman Lovett – Holly in Red Dwarf
• Richard Hatch – Battlestar Galactica (classic and new series)
• Ian McNeice – Winston Churchill – Doctor Who
